Hi!
I'm Dave (aka Mister Fox, Foxy Dave, Foxy D or just "hey you").
Somehow I'm almost 47 years old. Not sure how that happened.
I fell in love with Mosrites and the Ventures in my very early teens when all my friends were listening to '70's stadium rock. The Ramones Road to Ruin album was one of the first records that I bought for myself and was the begining of some serious music obsession.
At 16 I taught myself to play the school music dept's bass just enough to form a "punk rock" band for the high school talent show.
in 1980 punk was Ramones, Adverts, 999 and so on. At least where I grew up (Seattle).
I let a few years go by before before I bought my own first bass. I've been playing ever since.
Wow, rambling! Anyway, I have always wanted a Mosrite bass and finally got the GAS to lay down the cash.
I'm now the proud owner of a Kurokumo (2004-ish?) '65 RI (non Ventures) bass. I'll post some pics later and will be asking LOTS of questions. I really don't know much about the Kurokumo instruments and there doesn't seem to be much info online aside from a few posts on this forum. I'll say the the Fillmore website is 1000% better than Kurokumo's.
Nice to be here,
Dave
